One of the steps the interpreter takes is to go through all modules and rebind all globals to None. I suspect currentThread is a global in the above (although I thought that particular issue was fixed in Python 2.4... are you running an older version?).

Like you can see (c:\python23), I'm working with python 2.3. I'll try with 2.4.


The "simplest" thing to do is to ignore this exception because it's spurious". One way to ignore it is simply to wrap that particular daemon thread's "run" method with a "try/except: pass" so that all exceptions are swallowed quietly. Often that's not preferable, however, since it will of course swallow real exceptions too.

After a lot of tries, I modify the twisted threadselectreactor with your hack, and now it work.
